Question

Which statements about the Mississippian Indians are correct? Select all that apply. A They mainly lived in pueblos. B They lived in large mound towns. C They were largely a nomadic people. D Their villages were ruled by a single king. E Their villages were organized as chiefdoms.

Answer 1

Answer:

B They lived in large mound towns

E Their villages were organized as chiefdoms.

Explanation:

The topography and natural vegetation in which the Mississippian Indians were living favored the needed materials to construct mounds. They used these mounds in the construction of private houses, temples, etc.

Their settlement was organized in such a way that the eldest of each family, who are believed to be the ones with more experience and vast knowledge are placed as leaders and take most decisions as the chief, while others are placed under them in a hierarchical structure.

Hence, the correct answer is option B "They lived in large mound towns" and option E "Their villages were organized as chiefdoms."
